I think you can get it new from Renault, but it's mental price. You must also recalibrate it when fitting, IIRC.

what pisses me off is that it says on it , its made in England .
they should be cheap .

I got one from renault a couple of years ago, it was over £100. 'Calibrated' it by ear and a bit of trial and error. :wink:

I don't exactly know the procedure but special Renault tools must be used to do it properly IIRC. I think it's related to the fact that the throttle opening value is not voltage but in numbers from 0 to 255. It's Renault and their specialty to make things complicated.

Actually, procedure is written in Williams Clio manual, which Yanoo_ linked in Mechanical section. http://www.williamsclio.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25066&start=40 Page 56 in that PDF.
XR 25 is the special tool.

Ancient piece of tech. Seem to remember they cost a fair whack if you can find them.

messing about with it and sourcing an X25 is just hassle.

cutitng off / me starting it again / cutitng off ...... x 3 at acceleration. after the 3the time it will run without any problem.

Just get a used throttle body with TPS attached and make sure the wires are in good nic.

I've ordered in an aftermarket sensor, and i'm going to test it out. If it's all nice and gives a good quality signal then i'll organise a group buy on them. Dont say i never do anything for you ;)

Renault 7701203513
Colvern part number 17/542/2684 4k15M

I have a feeling webcon do one that would be compatible with some minor loom modification. can't find anything recent though, their website hasn't been updates since 2005

there are some dub boys next to my mates unit ( yes i got mates :P :P )
i always thought the clio rsi throttle body looked very similar may be even fittable to the 16v . any thoughts on that ?

how about this one ??
it will need renault plug fitted to the end which is not too bad .
also the activation arm might need to be adjusted or swapped to the
renault one ?

looks like a cheaper copy of the webcon one. I've not had great expereince of cheap TPS's. I rn one on my throttle bodies and it produced loads of electrical noise and gave very random readings
